A stranger in a black turban challenges twelve-year-old Adam Story. If he can travel around the world by land and sea within forty days, he will win $4,000,000. But when Adam begins the journey, he learns he's part of something bigger than a challenge. He's part of an international game, the Great Global Game.

"A refreshing alternative to gritty contemporary stories or high-fantasy adventure."--School Library Journal.

"Evans' writing matches the lively pace of Adam's journey, and Adam's descriptive narrative makes for a fast-paced, engaging read."--Booklist
